Do You Ever?????

Do you ever hear a conversation
and think something totally different
than what the person actually said??
This happens to me all the time!!
But this time it happened to Cody!

In June I took the kids to California.
Between Reno and Tahoe they are doing
MAJOR road construction- I don't know about you,
but barricades on both sides of the road scare me!
Especially where there is NO room for driving error!
Since I was driving alone with my kids
I was sweating bullets! But we survived!

Well in August when we went to California
to visit family again
BUT this time in a HUGE motorhome--
I got to worrying about the BARRICADES
for our drive home!

I had a conversation with my mom that went something like this...

Me: Mom do you know if they are
still doing road construction in the Tahoe area??
Mom: Not sure, why?
Me: Well in June I was totally freaked out, the road
was so bad-- It was one lane, there were barricades
on my left and barricades on my right,
I totally thought we were going to die!
Cody was listening intently---and he chimed in
TOTALLY freaked out saying--
Cody: What, REAL BEAR CAVES!!!!???
My mom and I BURST into laughter!!
It was the funniest thing, you should have seen the look on his face!

Then I had to explain--
Not BEAR CAVES
BARRICADES!!!
Can you just imagine what was going
through his head--
"There were Bear Caves on my Left and
Bear Caves on my right--I totally thought
we were going to die!!"

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!
KIDS SAY/THINK THE FUNNIEST THINGS!!!!
